Hi all

I'm banging my head with serial issues. In doing so I have come across this strange anomoly. If I short com pins Tx and Rx GP12 and GP13 and run the following code, I get exactly what I would expect, a list of ascending numbers and their corresponding ascii characters as returned.

However, if I exchange the input$ line for the one currently commented out, (changing the input buffer to one character long), I get gobbledygook.

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks
Joe

IF DAT$<>"" THEN
? dat$
DAT$=""
end if
NEXT

Not thinking too deeply, it is possible that the minimum length of your transmission will be 3 characters long firstly the character that you want to send followed by a CARRAIGE RETURN (Chr$13) and a LINE FEED (CHR$10).
